Kazusa looked up at that face, clouded by desire. He was still holding on to a sliver of hope, appealing to whatever rationality might remain within Inukai.
“I-I don’t consent! Engaging in any act without mutual agreement is harrassment!”
“Shut up! Be quiet!”
Inukai cast off his gentlemanly façade, silencing Kazusa with a harsh rebuke.
“...!”
“A mere omega shouldn’t resist!”
Kazusa was shocked to see the literature-loving, romantic university professor transformed so drastically by omega pheromones.
Frozen in shock, Kazusa stiffened, which seemed to make Inukai believe he’d given up. Inukai leaned closer, exhaling warm, moist breaths against Kazusa’s neck. He dragged his tongue slowly along the nape of Kazusa’s neck, sliding the tip into his ear with a slick, wet sound. Goosebumps rose along Kazusa’s skin, and a chill ran down his spine.
(No… no… no!)
Kazusa remembered a similar situation when he had previously fallen into heat unexpectedly, an experience he once had with Zero.
Back then, it had been his first heat. So he was even more confused by his sudden arousal, not understanding the cause. At first, everything that happened felt nauseating, and he had no idea what lay ahead, leaving him utterly terrified.
There is still much he doesn’t know about heat. He doesn’t understand why the pill isn’t working this time, either.
But there is one thing he knows for sure.
Even if he’s in heat, even if he’s in a state of arousal, it doesn’t mean just anyone will do.
That time was different from now. Zero is different from Inukai.
(It’s completely different…)
No matter what, he couldn’t accept Inukai. Even if alpha and omega pheromones were drawing them together, he couldn’t allow Inukai in.
That’s how special Zero is to him.
He respects Zero as a person and trusts him as the club owner.
But it goes beyond just respect and trust… he actually loves Zero.
Their first meeting was during his heat, which led to them connecting physically. Although he initially found Zero difficult, over time, he became drawn to him. And before he realised it, he had fallen deeply in love.
Since he had no experience with romantic feelings, it took him a while to understand—but now he knew.
(I love him…)
As he savoured this newly realised feeling, the restraint on his arms suddenly loosened, and the pressure on his lower body lightened. Kazusa hurried to escape. But before he could, he was flipped over and pinned face-down. Inukai pressed against him from behind, rendering him immobile again.
Hot breaths puffed against his neck, sending a tingling ache down his spine. The feel of sharp teeth digging into his neck made Kazusa shudder.
(Is he… trying to ‘mark’ me?)
When an alpha bites the back of an omega’s neck during heat, it’s a ritual to establish a ‘contract’.
This bond lasts until one of them dies. During that time, they can only respond to each other’s pheromones, and the omega can only conceive and bear the contracted partner’s children.
Such a life-altering commitment was about to be forced upon him, without his consent.
He had finally come to terms with his true feelings, yet now he was on the verge of being contracted to someone he didn’t even love.
“No!!!”
He cried out his refusal, struggling with all his might to push Inukai off. But his resistance was useless as Inukai’s weight held him down.
“St-… stop it!”
Kazusa’s desperate struggle didn’t deter Inukai, whose canines slowly dug into his neck. Surrounded by the intense presence of alpha pheromones, Kazusa’s sense of pain started to dull, and even the stinging of the bite faded away.
His mind grew foggy, and his fingers, once digging into the sofa, lost their strength one by one.
Overwhelmed by despair, Kazusa felt like prey being bitten by a predator. His eyelids drooped in resignation.
When he woke up, he would be contracted to Inukai…
He’d be forced to live as the mate of a man he didn’t love, bearing and raising his children.
Tears of anguish slipped down his cheeks. It hurt even more than when he’d lost his medical licence. His chest felt as though it would burst.
(Zero…)
Realising it now was too late. Why did it have to happen now? He had been so blind.
He’d had so many chances to realise his feelings for Zero. The signs had been there. And yet.
If he had just noticed, even a day… even half a day earlier…
No amount of regret could change anything now. It was over.
A mist clouded his mind, and he was gradually losing the ability to think clearly.
(Zero… Zero…)
As his consciousness faded, he called that name one last time, as if in a final plea.
“Kazusa!”
Hearing his name called in an urgent voice, Kazusa opened his eyes in a start.
The door swung open with a whine, and the room's air began to flow outside. The thickly permeating pheromones dissipated, clearing the haze clouding his head. Immediately afterward, he heard a startled shout behind him, and the weight of Inukai pressing down on him was suddenly gone.
“……”
Kazusa quickly turned, and in his field of vision, he saw Inukai with his shirt collar gripped from behind, being lifted with one hand by Zero. Zero’s face was expressionless, while Inukai’s was flushed red, his mouth opening and closing in protest.
“L-let… go…”
Inukai was gasping, desperately trying to slip a finger into his shirt collar. His strained voice turned into wheezing, and Kazusa came to his senses.
“Zero! You’re choking him!”
Without changing his expression, Zero released his grip. Inukai, suddenly freed from being suspended, dropped heavily onto the floor. He collapsed onto all fours, coughing and sputtering.
“Are…are you alright?”
Kazusa stood up from the sofa to go to Inukai’s side, but Zero’s sharp voice stopped him. “Stay away from that man!”
“Don’t move from there.”
The forcefulness of Zero's command pressed him back into the sofa for a second. After confirming this, Zero grabbed Inukai’s arm and pulled him up, looking down at his tear-streaked and saliva-covered face with a cold gaze.
“You seemed unaware, but this room is monitored by cameras in another room, where all conversations are also recorded.”
Realising everything had been seen and heard, shock registered on Inukai’s face. After shifting his eyes nervously for a moment, he abruptly put on a defiant tone. “Then you must be aware!” he declared haughtily.
